Oops. sent this message to the original sender by accident instead of the mailing list. Anyways here is the message I sent him.
You misunderstood his original message. He said that cygwin1.dll is provided with the exe but on some setups it is crashing. It appeared that cygwin1.dll requires the mount-point registry keys to perform some functions but they don't have to be valid locations. I am going to assume that the cygwin1.dll is in the same folder as the exe as the cygwin compiled exe can fine the dll file if they are in the same folder. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32)
